Is sendep.cc legit or a scam?
A malicious Google impersonator registered just 10 days ago on a low-trust .cc domain, flagged by security engines for phishing and deceptive content.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The site is a blatant clone of the Google search homepage, using the official brand name and layout on a non-official domain. Our security engines, including Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and Webroot, have already flagged this URL as malicious. The domain was registered only 10 days ago, which is a common timeframe for temporary phishing setups. It lacks any legitimate business registration or contact information. The use of the .cc top-level domain is also a frequent choice for high-risk scam infrastructure.
